Food shortages loom as wheat crop shrinks and prices rise.
It is predicted that wheat will run in the world in the next ten weeks. Experts feel that due to climate change wheat has dropped from 624m to 600m tonnes. The lack of wheat will also cause many other foods and beverages to rise. For example beer, biscuits and bread will all rise in price. Americas recent change in diet to a high meat intake is causing most of the wheat to go towards livestock. In all this their is a solution to this problem. Farmers around the world have boughten millions of acres of land and is harvesting wheat to create a solution to this problem. This is projected to be solved if all goes well within the next 12 months.
